A SIMPLE motto makes it quite clear exactly what Weston and Weston can provide for customers – “we sell it, we install it, we service it.”

The “it” is refrigeration, air-conditioning and heating for domestic, commercial and industrial purposes.

From building coolrooms and fitting a a domestic air-conditioning system, to fixing industrial fridges and freezers, temprites and refrigerated transport, Weston and Weston can keep you or your produce hot or cold, as need and the weather demands.

“If you want it cooled or heated, we can do it,” company director Lionel Weston said.

“Air-conditioning in our terms is cooling down and the right humidity and the right temperature, whereas an evaporative cooler is as the word says, it cools.

“It doesn’t get you down to the right temperature. In the industry they’re known as swamp boxes.

“Because George and I are refrigeration mechanics we’re a little more to that end.”

Weston and Weston retails and installs Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Actron reverse-cycle systems, as well as annual servicing of a range of evaporative systems.

“In the country people want to know if you sell a reputable brand because they want the service as well.

“If they recognise the brand, Carrier or Email - or nowadays Mitsubishi or Panasonic - and you fix it, that’s great. Out here you want to know who’s going to fix it because you recognise the brand.”
